ENDEAVOUR Hills Hawks Junior Football Club is rallying around the family of late teenager Lazlo Nagy who died in a two-car crash in Kallista on 24 May.
Lazlo, 17, of Endeavour Hills, and friend Kristof Kollar, 19, died at the scene after the car they were travelling in crashed with a 4WD and rolled down an embankment on Monbulk Road about 8.10pm.
Passenger Aaron Goldsmith, 18, was airlifted to The Alfred hospital with critical head injuries.
Club president Steve Navarra said Lazlo, a former Hawks player and Hallam Senior College student, was a likeable, quiet boy who stayed out of trouble and had many friends at the club.
The family was highly respected. Lazlo’s three brothers play for the Hawks and their mother Louisa was a generous contributor and life member.
“The family don’t deserve this. They are a wonderful family,” Mr Navarra said.
The day after the crash, Mr Navarra was set to join club members and friends filling the Nagy home to support the family.
Senior Endeavour Hills team players will wear black armbands at this weekend’s game and the junior team will do the same and pay a minute’s silence to Lazlo.
Victoria Police Major Investigation Unit officers are investigating the crash.
